SAD-IRON.

Specification of Letters Patent. llzttented 1131.1. 15, 1910.

Application filed March 31 1909. Serial No. 486.962.

To all whom it my concern:

Be it known that I, LOUlS Maneor s, a resident of the city of Raveuna, county of Portage, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful linproven'ients in Sad l r'ons. of which the followin is a s ecification. 7

lvly invention relates to sad irons which are heated by means of combustion within the'iroii itself, and which are commonly designated as charcoal or carbon ironsf The ob ect of my invention is to produce bination of parts hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.

In the accompanying sheet of drawings, which forms a part of this application, Figure 1 is a perspective of the iron showing the grate in drltted lines. Fig. 2 is aplan of the forward end of the cover and top portion of the iron showing the fastening means for the front part of the cover. Fig. 3 is a longiiudinal vertical section of the iron on the line l l l -.ll l. of Fig. 4, partly broken away; and Fig. 4. is a rear elevation.

The body of-the iron 1 is hollow, and is of the square-heeled type. The heel 2 of the iron is provided with an inlet port 3 which in the form shown, is constructed on a semi- .circle, the bottom of which is at the bottom of the iron; and the sides of which extend upward on the sides of the heel 2. The sides lia of the body converge in a line at the front of the iron, and are reduced in height at this point. On each. side of the front of these sides are provided stops 5 5, each of which carries an pin 6 (3. At thetop of the heel is pivoted a catch 7 provided with a knob 8 and an internally projecting nose 9.

At about the middle of the heel is pivoted the combinedregulator and ash-collector 10. which is provided with an aperture 11 so constructed as substantially to register with the inlet port of the heel when the draft is opened. Surrounding the bottom and forming the lower boundary ofthis aperture is internally projecting.

an outwardly and upwardly extending tlangc 12 which constitutes a cup or collector for the ashes. The regulator is provided .with'a suitable handle 13, and is preferably of circular form. l'ithin the hollow body is located a removable grate 14 which is provided with legs 15 if); and has its rear portion extended upwardly sothat the flucs 1(5 16 extend approximately to the same heightas the top of the inlet port.

The cover 17 of the iron is provided with uprights 18 18 in which is fastened a suit- .able wooden handle 1%) by any wellknown means. The front of the cover tapers down wardly and is recessed to afford a vent. Upon each side of this recess extend horns 20 20 for engagement with'the pins (3 These horns'extend inside of the frontof the body between the stops .3 5 against which abut the forward edges 24- 24- of the cover.

it the rear of the cover-is located a cam 21.

over which rides the. nose 9 of the catch,

thereby taking up the wear and continually affording a tight joint. A stop 22 is provided to prevent the cat h from being pushed clear over the cam surface.

The bottom of the cover is provided with a downwardly extending flange 2?). which sets inside of and in contact with the sides and heel of the iron. This flange, the stops 5 5 and the forward edges 24 24 of the cover receive the strain flue to ironing and reduce the wear on the fastening means. 7 I

The operation of the iron is as follows:

After the proper amount of fuel. has been put into the body and lighted, the cover is put on by slipping the horns 20 20 under the pins (3 (i, and by turning the catch '7 up into engagement with the cam 21.. The proper amount of air is admitted to the fuel by means of the regulator, the air passing through the inlet port under and around the fuel and out of the ventat the top of the front of the iron. lVhen the iron is sutli ciently heated and ready for use, it is manipulated in the ordinary way well known in the art. In moving the iron back and forth over the fabric, loose light ashes are likely to be thrown out of the inlet port. These will be collected by the cup formed by the upwardly and outwardly extending flange 12,

and thus prevented from being scatteredupon the fabric. As soon as this cup is full the regulator is simply turned over and the ashes dumped without tilting or inverting the iron proper, thus avoidin an undesir- I able disturbance of the fuel therein. When the fire needs agitation, a poker can be inopen fire-places.

serted through the inlet port 3, and the ashes shaken; down, in the manner well known in It is to be understood that I'do not desire a to be lnnited to the exactdetails-shown and an outwa'rdly and upwardly extending flange integral therewith beneath-the aperture, the

' regulator being plvotcd to the hollowbody.

whereby the aperture may be brought ,out of and into register with the inlet and the flange inverted and returned to its normal 7 position, substantially as described.

2. In an internally heated sad combination of a hollow body front reduced in height and provided at each side thereof nearthe top vvlth inwardly projecting pins, a cover" having, its front iron, the

Processed to furn sh-a vent and "being provided at each side thereof. With horns for engagement with said pins, substantially as descr1bed. v

3.' Inaninternally heated sad iron, the

boxhbination of a hollow body having its having its front reduced in height and provided at each side thereof near the top with inwardly pro- "jecting pins", a cover having its front recessed to furnish a vent and being provided "011 each side thereof with horns for engagement with said pins, a catch at the rear of the hollow body pivoted thereto, and a cam at the rear of the cover for engagement with i I said catch, substantially as described.

4. In an internally heated sad iron, the combination of a hollow body provided with aninlet port, theiront of said body being reduced in height and provided 'at each side near the top thereof with inwardly project ing pins, a cover having its front recessed to furnish a vent, and being provided; on

each side thereof withhorns for engagement with said pins, a catch at the rear of the hollow body pivoted thereto, a cam at the ,rear of a the cover-for engagementwith 'said catch, and a regulator provided at its bottom with an outwardly and upwardly ex tending flange and having an apertpre by means ofwhich the'supply of air to'ithe inside ofthe iron can be governed, substantially as described.
